Mr. DULLES. Could I ask one question?
Who would make out lookout cards in the normal process? Would it be
quite a number of people, or one particular office?
Miss WATERMAN. I am not sure about that, Mr. Dulles. That was
completely another area, and I don't know.
Mr. DULLES. Outside of the Passport Department entirely, was it?
Miss WATERMAN. Oh, no.
Mr. DULLES. In the Passport Department?
Miss WATERMAN. Oh, yes.
Mr. DULLES. Miss Knight could tell us that.
Miss WATERMAN. In the records part of the Passport Office.
Now, at one time I know that the cards were made in a certain area.
Then I know that later on, and probably prior to this time, we had
been requested not to forward any kind of classified files to the
usual place for having these cards made--we should forward them to the
Classified Files Section, which would take it up from there, and give
them to the proper person to have a card made.
Mr. COLEMAN. Miss Waterman, it is your testimony that based upon
the red refusal sheet that you prepared, and also the operations
memorandums which have been marked respectively Commission Exhibit No.
962 and Commission Exhibit No. 963, that you had done all you were
supposed to do, and that the file then should have been passed over to
somebody else, and a lookout card should have been prepared?
Miss WATERMAN. Yes, yes; that was our procedure at that time at least.
Mr. COLEMAN. Now, after March 28, 1960, and prior to February 1961,
in that period, did your department, or did you take other actions in
connection with the Oswald case, with the hope that you would finally
be able to reach a decision on Oswald, as to whether he had expatriated
himself or not?
Miss WATERMAN. I don't think there was too much going on in the file in
1960.
